Is the term "category" in Category theory entirely different from the category in topological spaces?

Question

$(X, \tau) $ be a topological space.

$A\subset X$ is said to be first category (meager) if it can be expressed as a countable union of nowhere dense sets. Otherwise we call the set $A$ second category (co-meager).

So we divide subsets of $X$ in two different classes first category and second category.

If yes, then what is the reason to use same word "category"in two different context ?

"Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things."-Henri Poincare .

Is the coincidence of the term " Category " a justification of Poincare's quote?

I don't think so. There is something I don't known but willing to know.

I know this question is slightly off topic and may be closed soon. But it's my interest to know your valuable insight.

Answer 1

Perhaps disappointingly, there is no connection between the two uses at all. (Given this, I prefer to use "meager" for "first category," and my impression is that this is pretty common now.)

Note that the grammatical roles of the term are quite different - topological category refers to place in a (very simple) taxonomy, while a category-theoretic category is an object in its own right - so the terminological overload doesn't have much potential for confusion.
